My wind indicator came lose and started making its way up the antenna causing it to oscillate like crazy in more the 25kts. I knew it wouldn’t last and it didn’t. It’s flown off with the antenna.
So replacement recommendations please from those in the know.
What’s the industry standard these day?

Thanks.

The V-Tronix Hawk: Hawk Marine Products, V-Tronics Hawk works well.

Not really much choice. Shakespeare / VTronix Hawk or some Glomex antennas come with windex. Their windex is also available separately (and can be fitted to VTronix antenna). More robust than Hawk type but perhaps not so responsive.

The Hawk wind indicator can also be bought separately to replace lost/broken ones.
